Flames coach Peters has written a letter of apology, saying his comments were a “moment of frustration” and not reflective of his “true personal values”. I think he will keep his job and you guys are missing the mark with your posts. You all forget that in the NFL Josh Allen and Nick Bosa were exposed to have made racist comments in their Twitter accounts when in high school. Both were forced to sit down with their black teammates and explain their actions. Neither guy was released. They were given passes by their black teammates, some of whom in Allen’s case are responsible for protecting his ass.
Peters is a coach but does he even have any black players on his team to sit down and talk with? Jarome Iginla retired years ago and is going into the Hall of Fame soon. The Flames know they have a winner on their hands in Peters and apologies from winners get accepted. Apologies from losers do not. It’s that simple. If Flames were in last place his ass would be burned toast, but they aren’t and he isn’t.
Remember as well that Don Cherry would have kept his job if he apologized. He didn’t. Peters did. So it’s a situation where the team will send him for sensitivity training, make him apologize to Akim Alin and after that he will be back with the team.
